Pat, Theoretically, an account holder could have many websites for one account and may link each of them to one main website or keep each of them separate from each other. I had not thought of the possibilities. This would make management of information easier if one had a lot of it and a variety. Good info to know.

Lorrie, I don't know if you have ever noticed, but in many of my posts I link to my account in misc_html, or occasionally the computers_html one. I only have an index page for the genealogy_html account, and anyone wanting to find technical stuff I've posted can do that themselves by trawling through the parent directory of the first two mentioned communities.

Barry, No, I had not noticed but will check it out now that I am aware of it.
